Nolen Gur

West Bengal prepares nolen gur, khejurer gur, notun gur, or fresh jaggery from date palm sap exclusively in winter. Nolen gur makes an array of desserts which go missing in summer.

Gajra halwa

Gajar Halwa

In winter, Indians make gajar halwa, a decadent dessert prepared with winter-grown red carrots. All-year carrots don't taste as good. We will miss gajar halwa in summer.
